Parent Engagement through Touchpoints™
“Parent Engagement through Touchpoints” is an intensive learning collaborative on the Touchpoints approach, an evidence-based model linked to building strong family-child relationships from prenatal through age 5. Touchpoints provides a practical, preventative approach that supports professionals in forming strengths-based partnerships with families. This Intensive centers on reflection and cultural humility to support infant/early childhood mental health, early learning, and development. In addition to 2 full training days, this Intensive includes 6 1-hour virtual reflection sessions.
